Based on the transcript posted by the Chicago Sun Times, here are the 5 quotes from then Senator Obama’s 2007 speech at Hampton University that are most likely to raise eyebrows:
It appears that President Obama went off script when he delivered the speech, but if he went on to deliver these remarks as written, I imagine they will cause some controversy.
Why should the above quote be controversial? Isn’t introducing people to Jesus Christ what Pastors do?
Don't you think the American Sheeple deserve a detailed introduction to such a talented Pastor? Clearly, it went over their heads on 2008.
Just because Wright knows how to make noises about Christ and taught Obama how to do the same does not make him a proper pastor!
It's time to pause and consider anew how Obama's presidency has turned out in the light of Rev. Wright's "theology" and how Obama's goals for America line up with those of Rev. Wright.
Doesn’t the bullet referred to come from another part of the (edited) speech, in which he related the story of a pregnant woman who was shot, and the bullet reached the child, who was delivered and found to be unharmed except for the bullet lodged in soft tissue?
“So what does the “Tells me the bullet hasn’t been taken out.” statement mean? It certainly got a reaction from the crowd...”
It’s a reference to the story he told at the beginning of the speech where he told of a baby who was shot in the arm, the bullet removed and the wound healed.
It is a metaphor.
As I said,I dislike Wright and Obama, but nothing I saw so far is controversial like G*damn America. Nobody’s mind (or vote) will change over those quotes.
There are many teachings in other Christians’ theology that I found strange, but I wouldn’t call them controversial. Un-Biblical, weird, yes, but again, it’s between them and the Lord. Obama saying Wright brought him to Christ is nothing to be fuss about.
But, the problem is none of the statements is really earthshaking controversial. There’s no G*damn America, or even Whitey do this to us! In and by itself, these statements are not enough to lead to the effects you mentioned.I hope I’m wrong, though.
I think it’s a real tar baby IF it’s true that the fed DID initially require the $1 matching funds from New Orleans and did not from New York or Hurricane Andrew.
I do believe it’s important to have facts before investing too much in an attack.
I wouldn’t want to throw this at an opponent in a debate and then have the guy easily make me look foolish by being able to say, “But they did take the $1 from New Orleans when they didn’t from New York.”
Anyone know if they did or didn’t?
This is the one quote that nobody will want to talk about. Barack Obama has basically admitted that "the poor" he references in this remark are little more than feral animals and need basic training in human behavior.
A white supremacist -- and maybe even the late Grand Wizard Robert Byrd (D-WV) -- wouldn't have said anything different than this at a Klan rally.
How many times has Obama gone to church on Sundays vs. how many times has he played golf? Maybe his Sunday praying is done on the golf course, praying for a hole in one.
“It’s all just refried socialist hash.
All 0bamunists I know agree with every word, including the false Jesus.”
I agree 100%.
The liberal koolaid drinkers VOTED for this Big Government liberalism. His speech is all big govt liberalism and calling Amerikkka racist for not throwing more money at poor blacks in need. He throws in race-disgruntlement BS, his katrina claims that they denied stafford loans are out and out lies - over $100 billion ended up going to Katrina victims, and billions of it was wasted and grafted away.
But that is exactly what his hard-core leftliberal followers believe. His speech could be a HuffPost article.
And so it goes.
Sadly, it should be a big deal, but it wont be. Rev Wright didnt unelect him in 2008 and in 2012 it still wont. The media lied for him then, they are lying for him now.
Heck double digit youth unemployment and 50% young black unemployment and young black people STILL will vote for him.
Go figure.
Obama worshiped Marx not Mohammed.
Black Liberation Theology is just marxism co-opting the bible.
Doing socialism in the name of Jesus.
It’s politically convenient and theological nonsense.
LOL, he DOES have a point about Katrina, just not the one he intended to make! The very low central pressure in a major hurricane is analogous to the lowering of educational standards over the past forty years via affirmative action and teachers’ unions, contributing to winds of ignorance and destruction that are tearing our cities apart!
